Now in its seventh year, BDNY has seen double-digit growth each year since its 2010 debut, garnering recognition in Trade Show Executive (TSE) magazine’s annual ranking of the 50 Fastest-Growing Shows for three consecutive years.
This year BDNY will expand to 100,000 square feet of exhibit space, with 600+ manufacturers and marketers of furniture, fixtures, lighting, seating, wall coverings, accessories and other design elements for hospitality interiors.
More than 7,000 hospitality design professionals from the eastern United States, Canada and Europe are expected to attend BDNY, including interior designers, architects and purchasing executives as well as hospitality owners and operators.
“BDNY continues to experience phenomenal growth, a testament to the current strength of our industry and the incredible support of the hospitality community,” said Michelle Finn, president of Hospitality Media Group (HMG), which produces BDNY and sister trade fair BDwest, also a TSE Fastest 50 honoree.
